New units for the new commanders

Just for the record, there are currently voice lines for a Tiger, StuG and Halftrack for the OKW.

Can Brits have CQC mainlines in doc? Pretty please?

I've been thinking in general that a thompson upgrade for infantry sections could be nice. Heck, it could even replace the worthless vickers k in the worthless resupply halftrack in the worthless tactical support commander so the entire thing isn't friggin useless.

accually brits lacks of main line infantry that works in mid range mobile unit like penals or gren squad equipt with g43.

Hard to say how to make a new unit, new model with but sort of scotish highlander squad would be highly welcome. Commandos can't fill that role, Infantry section are more long range, static squad and royal enginners are too weak. New unit will fill that role perfectly.

2 Assault Section- an Infantry Section that doesn't have out-of-cover penalites. Equipped with a Tommy gun, Enfields with fewer movement penalties, and No. 77 WP Grenades for both smokescreen and anti-garrison use. Can fire Bren guns while moving. 320mp, 32 per man.



The Sherman IVB (British M4A3(105)) isn't quite indirect fire, but would be more historically accurate.

I like the assault section idea. IMO should either be armed with 4 tommies and an enfield (assuming 5 men) or just 1 thompson that doesn't take up a slot and can have double commando brens (the fire-on-the-move ones), and as you said the enfields with less movement penalties and maybe with a more midrange oriented dps curve. Maybe even give them a BAR upgrade instead of brens or something (the only top tier allied midrange weapon I could think of).

As if the normal Tommy Bren blobs aren't bad enough you want to give them commando Brens with no out-of-cover penalty? No thanks.

A Thompson armed assault squad with Volksgrenadier-like charactaristics seems good enough. No need to put all sorts of weird weapons on them, the weapon profile can simply fit whatever you want it to be. An assault squad with most of its DPS in the low to mid range.

I am all in for the inclusion of Soviet Assault Engineers:



4-man squad, 320 manpower, locked behind CP 1.
Each model costs 27 to reinforce (same as Guards), and has combat performance slightly less than Shock Troop model (same armor, easier to hit, armed with less accurate PPsH). Cannot construct defenses (wire/mines) or tech buildings or caches.

Abilities:
Rudamentary Repair (slower than normal engie, same as P.Gren repair)
Satchel Charge (non-homing)
Cut Wire (no prerequisite upgrades)
Smoke Grenade (vet 1)

Upgrades:
Flamethrower as usual. No minesweeper upgrade.

This thread definitely went places.

For what it's worth, I'd mostly want to see new units that are not redundant with existing ones. So, I wouldn't want more g43/STG units for axis or more PTRS/Thompson units for allies.

IMO the commisar or the 221 is a good model (conceptually, not literally the visual game model) for new stuff in that they provide a change of functionality and give you something that is good early on and has a role in the late game as well.

The command panzer already exists and its an F1....

Jump back to quoted post7 Jan 2019, 13:40 PMSchweinchenbaben

Pls give me the panzer 4 f1 (the stubby one)
I love the stubby panzer in combination with panzer grens

Jump back to quoted post9 Jan 2019, 17:33 PMWiderstreit

Also would like to see a Panzer 4 F1.

Why not making the Commando-Panzer be a Ausf. G like OKW's model instead? Spawning with extra armor.

So we can make a useful F1 like in CoH1.
